My boyfriend is now working for a huge law firm, and I am actually in the process of making the biggest move of my life. I am following him to Washington D.C. to support his career (I am really proud of him). Well his new boss told him that for the sake of his career it would be best to keep his homosexuality on the down low, and re-think the relationship he has with me. Since I may be damaging to his career. Is this for real? I have been with my boyfriend for a year now, and I have always shown my support. He tells me not to worry that we would never split, but am I really holding him back? Would he go further in his law practice without me? Please help me!

The firm as a whole didn't tell him that it was one man his boss more specifically, and I did say is this for real. To specity my question would it really tarnish his reputation since he the firm is in the public eye a lot? I am not a lawyer, and want to understand.

Wow that had to hurt you alot. i Cannot imagine the thought that you were holding back someone you loved. BUT i do not think you are. If hes not worried i wouldn't either. Sounds like his boss needs to get with he times and realize that gays, interracial couples, lesbians and most relationships are common place. I am sure if he keeps pushing your boyfriend that he will make a decision to find another firm rather than loose you. Good luck

seems to me your boyfreind would be better off looking for a career in law locally with a firm run by somebody not so homosexually bigoted. i cannot honestly beleive it will be easy for your boyfreind to climb up the law ladder in this company anyway-and they have no rights to tell him to re-consider his relationship with you (especially as you are prepared to move to DC with him). if they had said this to me i would have told them where they could stick their job.

If you love your boyfriend let him go so that he could concentrate on his career. Nevertheless, communicate with him regularly in order that you will still be closed. If he has settled with his career and was already in regular status, its time for you to explore by joining him in D.C.
